Why not bake your own?

Thanks for everyones input!

Topdogger - I'm going to have a look round a few karting suppliers over the weekend, I'll let you know what I find.

I agree the one in RCA is for the average father and son to spend some time togther doing something.

I'm interested in buying one outright, then racing it profeshionally. The link abaove has some great info.

Has anyone else on the forum own a kart? Or would be intersted in buying one? - It's alot better partnering up with someone to race against when practacing :-)

I searched for an hour or so on Google before posting this thread and just as I posted, I saw a link to http://www.kartthai.com/ There's lot's of info on there.

My next question is: Is there anyone on here that races here in Thailand? If so, I'd love to hear from you!

The one thing I really miss about home is the weekend trips down the local go-kart track taking turns with 6 mates on our shared Rotax go-kart :-)

I'm hoping that I can get that excitment back here in Thailand. Does anyone know if a) there are any shops who import and sell Rotax go-karts? Does anyone know if Thailand offers any tracks where you can bring your own go-kart along? c) Does anyone know of any go-karting clubs in Thailand?

If anyone has some insight into the go-karting scene here, I'd be really greatfull if you could explain more!

I agree, stupid idiot. Meth destroy's lives.

Yesturday I was sitting in traffic for an hour and needed the tolite. My mate suggested i get out and piss on my own tyre... I decided the plastic bottle was a good alternative!

My friends are visiting tomorrow and I forgot to sort out a hotel, as I promised 2 months ago!

Ideally I would like them near where I live, in the Silom area. Can anyone recommend a nice hotel around this area for under 1,200B per night?

Don't forgot the ping ball show!

(That wasn't a joke, I had to take my little sister (18) to see it when she visited me in BKK)

My missus wants to learn how to use a computer. I would teach her myself but she wants a hobby while I'm at work so thought learning something new would be a cool thing to do.

Can anyone recommend any places in BKK that offer computer courses, in Thai (My missus speaks zero english)

Thanks in advance.

Information on all of the 5 star hotel buffet offerings, including opening times, costs and nearest BTS stations!

I didn't know where to post this thread so if its in the wrong section, please can the Mods move it.

I have just moved into my new apartment and have noticed the water drips out of the shower head.

Does anyone know what I can do to make the water come out really fast? The same sort of shower pressue you find in a decent hotel?

Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately, the girls from that social class rarely want to date farang, or even be seen alone with a farang out of fear that it may be misconstrued by other people as dating... out of fear that their friends and relatives will tease them as being prostitutes or bar-girls or whatever.

Spot on!

Especially true for the younger falangs/Thai's (18 to 23)

Why isn't this thread located next to job offers in thailand?

Crazy me thinks!

Dave –The age doesn't matter, there are many 15/16/17 year olds (log onto any webmaster forum and they are there learning) making more money than the average farang in Thailand is making. Trial and error and the willingness to learn is all it takes.

I run a personal Blog where I openly discuss how I make money on-line, which also covers what I get up to in Thailand. Unlike Rainman, I don't mind sharing my experiences - The web is so huge, I doubt that any of my blog readers will tap into one of my markets, and if they did it still wouldn't bother me. Anyway, I know I'm not allowed to post the link, so if anyone wants it, PM me and I'll forward it over to you.

I thought I'd offer some basic advice for anyone looking to build an on-line business. I've been making money on-line for 8 years, I started when I was 16. There is no other job I can think of that comes even close to mine, I earn a small fortune, I can work when I want and I can work wherever I want. Building an on-line business is one of the smartest moves I ever made, and there's no stopping you to do the same.

Firstly, setting up an on-line business does not require big bucks. You can start a site with $16, yes only $16! $8 for a domain name and $8 for your first months shared hosting!

To start learning the basics, I recommend building a content based site around a topic you are passionate about. This will give you a platform to learn and test new things out.

Don't worry too much about the design, you can easily change this at a later date when the site is generating some revenue. Some sites I know generate over 100,000USD per month and could be considered the worst designed sites on the net. How do they generate such amounts? Simple, this boils down to the content. If the content is good, it will go viral, people will talk about it, sites will link to it, Google and the other search engines will know this and send you targeted traffic. Quality content explodes on the net. The saying "Content is King" is so true with the on-line world. You can never have enough quality content… never! If you think you have, brainstorm with friends for new content creation ideas.

The biggest tip I can give anyone, is to learn SEO (search engine optimisation) Understanding what the search engines require to position a site higher than others is your most valuable asset. I consider my understanding of SEO to be the main reason behind my success. I can get any site, for any keyword, on the home page of the search engines. This gives me the scope to promote ANYTHING! Learning SEO will provide you with the ability to drive targeted traffic to your web site, “targeted” being the magic word.

The most valuable advice for building a site as a medium to promote your services is to build your on-line presence with an informative site, providing your users with great content should be the priority, with selling your product/service second.

Following the above advice will also teach you other areas you will need to learn to make money on-line such as monetizing sites, playing with different technologies, learning usability issues/problems and realising that a site will never be complete (any site can be improved/up-dated)

Simple... Open up another busienss with virtual office/staff... A B visa and WP will follow.

Good luck!

Can anyone recommend a hotel in Singapore near the Thai Embassy at around $30-$60 US?

Thanks for the response Sunbelt :-)

Just one more Q if you don't mind: What other documents are required?

My work permit expires tomorrow and I need to hand it in.

Dopes anyone know where I go? (In bangkok) and what other documents are required?

Thanks,

Chris

I'm from the UK

Thanks again for everyones input

Sorry... one more question...

How many days does the visa take to process? I think I remember reading 2 days at one time.

If I flew out to Singapore at 7am and arrive at 10.30 - Will I have enough time to reach the embassy?

Does anyone know what time the following day am I able to pick the visa up?

Thanks. What about the outbound travel docs, are these needed?

Also - If anyone else is about to do the same thing within 2/3 days and wants to tag along, PM me! I'm going on my own so a beer buddy would be nice!

Will I be able to get a 60 day tourist visa in Lao. Another option is Singapore maybe?

Thanks for the replies.
